We recognise and support the vital role of training in the NHS, by providing opportunities for experience and development for a number of different and new roles.
Our trainers are: Dr Jacinta Walsh, Dr Rebecca Harding, Dr Sarah Deeley, and Dr Emma Still. Our nurse mentors are: Helen Wright, Anne Smith, Louise Cotterill, and Angela Phillips.
GP Registrars
These are qualified doctors who are training to specialise in General Practice. We have GP Registrars for either 6 months (first year of training) or 12 months (last year of training). They each have a GP Trainer within our Practice who supports and assesses them throughout their placement with us. GP Registrars see patients just as any other GP would.
As part of their training and a way of evaluating how they’re progressing, GP Registrars have to video some of their consultations (not intimate examinations). The video is only viewed by the GP Registrar and their GP Trainer. Your explicit consent will be sought before the appointment is made, however if you change your mind during the consultation, you can ask for it to be turned off and deleted. This will not affect the treatment you receive.
Our current registrars:
- Dr Mohammad Shaikh (ST3)
- Dr Nelson Ekwedike (ST3)
- Dr Fatima Ahmed (ST3)
- Dr Subaiha Shaikh (ST3)
- Dr Mohammed Khudhur (ST3)
- Dr Mark Miranda (ST3)
- Dr Usman Rashid (ST3)
- Dr Fouizia Hussain (ST1)
Foundation Year Doctors
These are recently qualified doctors undertaking their second year of training after qualification.
Traditionally, doctors did not have any posts in General Practice in their early training. We now hope more will decide to undertake their speciality training in General Practice.
Trainee Advanced Care Practitioners
These are professionals already trained from a variety of health care backgrounds such as paramedic and nursing backgrounds.
They will be able to undertake minor illness review as well as see patients who are unwell due to their chronic conditions.
Trainee Physician Associates
Professionals with a biomedical degree that are training to perform some doctor roles such as taking the history, examining, and formulating a management plan in conjunction with a GP.
Intending Medical Students
Given the shortage of doctors, we as a practice promote attracting intending medical students into a career in medicine and specifically General Practice.
They are usually with us for a few weeks only and will shadow the GPs and Nurses as well as spend time with the Practice staff.
